'Our long national nightmare is over'

From President Gerald R. Ford's Remarks On Taking the Oath Of Office As President on August 9, 1974:

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule. But there is a higher Power, by whatever name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only justice but mercy.

These words ring true today as the American people have stopped Barack Obama's march to socialism. Hope and change are on the way.
